Good-bye and Good Luck

A Poem for My Farm

Good-bye cattle dogs and chickens,

Calico cat and zucchini pickin's,

Jalapeños, squash and tomatoes, 

Yellow onions and purple potatoes.

Good-bye old piano and little yellow scooter,

sunrise twitterers and late evening hooter.

Take care little beds and flowers in pots,

Strawberries, vincas, and begonias. 

Do not worry. I will return soon.

I'm leaving for Hawaii tomorrow at noon!
